Item 1: VDOT Bridge Construction
As V moves forward on reconstruction of the Route 623 bridge, they are seeking County
feedback on maintenance of traffic issue. Specifically, they wish to know if the County
preference is to keep the bridge open during construction or detour traffic. VDOT is proposing
to fully close the bridge, which will lead to significant detours. However, this will also cause the
project to be completed approximately a year sooner (I construction cycle instead of 2) and at a
savings of about $1 Million.
Below are some of the details of existing traffic and detours.
Cost benefit due to non -phased construction: Approx 0.5 Million
Cost reduction due to less width associated with need to maintain traffic: Approx 0.5
Million
Traffic ADT: Approx. 50150 distribution, 367 vehicles a day
Detour: 5.26 miles
To Marlboro: 1.7 miles eastbound, 3.5 miles westbound
To Winchester 9.5 miles eastbound no difference, 13 miles westbound
Staff is seeking a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
